QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009-2014, and in particular initiative 17, ‘Terrestrial Management Strategy’ (TMS). There is a disparity of the funding budgeted for the Terrestrial Management Strategy with that for ‘Cultural Heritage Conservation and Tourism’, which is seemingly not in keeping with sections 11(2)(b) and 11(2)(c), and I ask -
(1) Will the Minister explain this disparity?
(2) Will the TMS be developed in consultation with the public, in a manner similar to the process which led to the development of the Marine Management Strategy?
(3) Will the TMS provide base line assessments against which specific key performance indicators can be measured at regular points over the life of the Rottnest Island Management Plan?
(4) Why is there no costing for the development and implementation of the TMS?
(5) Will the Minister provide to the public, details of proposed funding for the care of the natural environment, marine and terrestrial, for the life of the Rottnest Island Management Plan?
